Why do you think they would have put him on ADT couple of months ago, if he was just diagnosed PC last Friday? I have all the respect for President Biden, and I hope he has many more years of healthy life.
It is just confusing the information his team is putting out. He is retired and the public doesn't have to know every detail of his health. But, if they are putting out information it should be accurate and helpful to fellow PC patients.

Biden's team has not put out any information that he was put on ADT a couple of months ago. There is no evidence, nor have there been any official statements put out by Biden's press office or spokesperson, that he has ever been put on ADT. I think that north was just running a "what if" exercise before we had very much information.

It would be a pretty normal path. Maybe he had trouble peeing, then they detected elevated PSA, and tried ADT to see if it worked, then maybe scheduled some imaging (especially if there was bone pain). Since he's 82, they would have gone at it more lightly than they did with me when I was diagnosed at 56. But I went from not knowing I had prostate cancer to learning it was castrate-sensitive in a month, for whatever that's worth.

We really don't need to dig for a conspiracy here. I don't ask any of you whether you're Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, Socialists, or members of the Undecided Cow Party (yes, it exists). We're all here in this forum because we're living with prostate cancer or supporting someone who is. President Biden doesn't have to share in detail what his journey's been like the past couple of months — we all know how traumatic the first months are — but if he ever chooses to, I know we'll be as supportive as we are for any other prostate cancer patient.
